That does not look like my CAFs after a year, and I only drive 5-7k per year! Yours looks like it has 1000 miles on it. How many miles did you drive in that year?

8-9k mi. It stays in the garage otherwise.
I was also surprised by the cleanliness. Previous ones had gone longer and didn't look so great. But replacement on FCP Euro

I've never seen such a long, contiguous CAF! Very cool looking. Is it easy to access?

2001 BMW E39 540 M-Sport 375,000 miles. I change these every 15k miles. I do the engine air filter (Hengst) at the same time, as they are cheap.
MicronAir made in Germany. I pictured a close up of the pleats on a dirty one, and a new replacement. There are two, one for each side

2007 Toyota Tundra 378,000 miles. I change these every 4 to 6 months, as my GF drives a ton (as you can see by the accumulated miles). Kootek brand made in China. Been using these for a few years, they are an inexpensive option on Amazon. I quit using the factory cabin filters years ago, as they do not have activated charcoal...figure better to have that, even if questionable effectiveness.
2 pack on Amazon is $10.
New one on top, old one on bottom in first picture. Probably around 12k to 13k miles.

I put a new Motomaster cabin filter in my 2016 Civic a few minutes ago. It’s Canadian Tire’s house brand but it’s made by Fram. I last changed it in June 2022 so it was overdue

2012 Nissan Xterra @ 61,150 mi.
It had a paired filter; a 2 on a 10-scale of difficulty.
Much worse than the filter in post #58.

What the heck is all that stuff on top of the filter? It looks like a mouse bed.
